With their many years of experience in exposing the subject, the authors have managed to condense the vast and complex subject matter into a practical, easy and objective manual. They present, in clear and accessible language, all the concepts and notions that are indispensable to the understanding of Law. It is a true guide, indicating the paths to take and the points to examine in depth. And, making the volume even more practical and useful, the most controversial or most interesting and current aspects are enriched by studies of concrete cases, based on jurisprudence, which favors the beginner’s contact with court decisions, while allowing the discussion and deepening of these issues.
